Pet Peeves
« on: March 01, 2014, 07:05:16 PM »
Stumbled on that header at Cafe' Racer forum and had a good laugh. Thought it might be kinda fun here just to see what really bugs youse guys.

It won't crank.

A&P mechanics that think they know everything since they went to A&P school.

Bill Gates thinks he is such a big shot he otta get a pass from the Bellevue, WA cops when he is stinking drunk and weaving all over the road.

Bill Gates makes millions by "marketing" products that are not finished.See Windows '95 and beyond.

Scooter/motorcycle dealers that charge for "Dealer set-up" and don't even check the oil level.

Scooter/motorcycle dealers that don't put all the parts on the bike you just bought and then ignore you when you discover it.

Little, bitty, skinny guys near a university/college that have so much head hair they gotta keep it in a filthy knit bag.

Harley riders that trailer their bikes to Daytona.

Lawyers and doctors that think they know how to fly (there are some exceptions) when they are in flight school.

Tires that are not round.

Car mechanics that think if they get the gages on a wheel alignment machine "in the green" they got it "good enough".

MBAs that think they know everything about business.

Marketing people of any kind.

Sniveling, little snots like Jay Carney explaining the latest Presidential insanity.

People that bunch right up to the baggage conveyor so no one can see their bag.

Guys in suits (MBAs) that defer airline maintenance who never are prosecuted when planes crash because of deferred maintenance.

FAA Operations types that think they know everything about flying.

FAA Medical types that think they know anything about medicine.

Air Traffic "Controllers" before the strike.

Conservative talk show hosts that ignore really important issues (Fat Boy Limbaugh at the top of the list).

There. That ought to be good to start!

Tailgaters.
People who think the speed limit sign indicates the minimum speed permitted.
People who seem to scream, "Get outta my way!" by their driving habits.

People who don't discipline their children.

People who give their opinion then get all outraged when you give them yours.

People who talk and text on the phone while driving.

When the flap of material on the zipper gets stuck in the zipper.

People in cars who won't give way to you when you merge.

People who speed up when you go to pass them.

Rude people that jump the queue when your buying a coffee at 8:00am on a Monday morning....grrrrr

Teenagers who don't wear their hat properly...... I saw one who had his hat on backwards and was holding his hand up to shade his eyes...... Idiot!!!!!!

People who put on FB that they just went to the gym...... Hello unless you fell over on the treadmill, we don't care.

The price of fuel in Australia!!  $1.60 per litre.

People who leave one square of toilet paper on the roll or a tiny dribble of milk in the bottle...aaarrrgggghhhhhh.

Harley riders trying to take back their two-finger "wave" when they see that you are on a scooter.  Well, not really a pet Peeve, but just humorous!

People who spout their political opinions , then get upset when someone responds to them with a differing view .  :o

Regarding 'tailgaters' :

I feel it is my calling to personally slow down every tailgater in the MidWest.....
When I drive my county truck every day....guess who loves to see a tailgater in the rear view mirror!?

Pretentious people
Mean people
People who park in handicap spots because "they're just going to be a minute"
People who give financial advice when they themselves are going through bankruptcy
People who talk about their delicate stomach while weighing 400 lbs
People who don't think rules apply to them
People who expect everything rather than earn it.
Ok I have to stop or I'll be looking for a therapist.
